IC 2006 is surrounded by a ring in which the direction of gas motion is opposite to the rotation of the galaxy’s stellar body. This peculiarity can be explained easily if it is assumed that the ring lies in the polar plane. The parameters of the ring are determined, and it is found that the ring has an elliptical shape. IC 2006′s distance is 20.04 Mpc.
